As the post you were replying to said, we did change the formation. Fellows in particular was playing far higher up the pitch, with Stephens covering the right side of defence. Also, it's not the height of our centre backs that's the issue. It's the rest of our team, which we are trying to compensate for by playing three centre backs. Even then, Millwall had a significant height advantage over us. Outside of those 3, I'm not sure we even have anyone else that's much taller than about five foot ten
-
If have thought we'd be very unlikely to change the formation in the middle of such a busy run of games, even if Tonda wanted to. First chance to try anything different would likely be the FA Cup match.

Scienza on the bench, Robinson in

Fairly certain his shot just on half time (about 50 seconds in the video above) would have been a penalty if we had VAR. His foot gets kicked as he's shooting. He was telling the ref as they walked off.

The 5 yellow card deadline was match 19

They've lost 6 in a row away, although they've mostly been quite tight games

It might not be pretty, but the results would indicate it is working. I strongly suspect we aren't too bothered about teams chucking in loads of crosses from 30 yards out. We've got 3 fairly big centre backs who are decent in the air, and we've been soaking up the pressure quite effectively. It's notable that the Millwall winner came from a cross that was much closer to the end of the pitch. I think we'd rather our wing backs stood off a bit and let them cross from a long way out than risk them getting past them into more dangerous territory.

I guess he might have been on an individual training plan up to now, getting him up to full fitness

One interesting thing we did on Saturday, which I don't think I have seen before. We had a corner and pushed all ten outfield players up, with Bazunu on the half way line in case it was cleared. Not sure whether it is a good or bad tactic, but we'd never have tried that with McCarthy in goal
-
My dad is a season ticket holder and he didn't even know until about Thursday 😂
-
McCarthy would have saved that Doku goal.
-
If McCarthy was playing he wouldn't have come for that ball at all, and their player would have had a one on one from about 8 yards.

It feels like Romeu coming back has been an option since the summer. The fact it happens straight after the manager is sacked makes me think Still was blocking it.
-
Are there rumours he is unhappy at Stoke? Can't see why he'd leave them for us at this moment
-
I didn't say he was biased, just that he was awful
-
Have we just resigned ourselves to the fact that the refs are going to be crap every week? Not seen any complaints about the one on Saturday but he was awful.
-
It's funny how people see things differently. He was right in front of me first half and had Murphy in his pocket. Nothing much changed second half from what I saw. Yet I read on here that Murphy was motm and Mads was poor....

Where is the evidence that it costs more to host at a ground we own, and where we can sell food/drink/merchandise, as opposed to renting a ground from someone else and them getting all the food and drink revenue?
-
I also felt that, the problem seems to be though that we are also trying to use him as an attacking threat. For example taking long throws. He can't do both
-
Plus it's not even a valid premise. Leeds won the division last season and their goalkeeper was awful.
-
All of our signings this summer have been four year deals, I think it's a standard length of contract these days. When a player gets down to two years remaining you either have to get them to sign a new deal or look to sell them as they start to move into free contract territory. Four year deals give you two seasons before you have to worry about any of that stuff.
-
None of them had been signed by this time two years ago

What is that area of the Chapel used for currently? Aren't all the community offices in that stand?

The welcome to Wrexham piss take video advertisement from Midnite on the way back to the station was pretty good as well, did anyone get a video of it?
